Use the low force setting on the pinchwheels if using a 80 cm or larger cutter .
Suggested Settings
There are many variables that determine cutter output quality. Ioline recom-
mends using low force and speed settings when making the initial test cuts.
Gradually increase these settings until the best values for the material are
found. Refer to Table 1 below for settings for a variety of material types. Force
values are for starting reference only. These settings may vary due to manu-
facturer, color, age, and temperature of the material.
